to have you on the show I'm so happy to be here well we're happy to have you here I I like your
dress oh thank you uh uh tell me about yourself originally Sacramento yes I grew up in Sacramento
my whole life my parents are still there um but I I went to college in New York I was uh
I was always dreaming about the big city and how did you go to school oh I went to Barnard
college for women well now see that's pretty impressive right there yeah yeah what did you
study at burner I studied English literature with a concentration in theater and philosophy yeah
and like so many people who come to the city they have to find ways to support themselves even when
they're in college when they get out of college and did you have odd jobs early on yes I well I
I was an s.a.t tutor I was a nanny I was a kind of a kid who was paid to go to clubs and make
trouble okay let's go down the list s.a.t tutor I think that yes that's self-explanatory right all
right Nanny how did that work out nanny nanny was mostly good there were sometimes you'd go
to an interview for a nanny job and it would just be kind of clear that the guy wanted to date you
because he'd asked me things like tell me all your favorite things that I could buy for you
and it's I and then I would not go to those jobs yeah so so the the guy is there is his wife there
the mother of the kid there do you meet the kid no um yeah I eventually met the kid and then the
guy left and the kid was hungry and he wanted me to read to him and play a game with him while he
was watching TV and make him a snack but they didn't have anything in the house except for
Evie on water so I had this starving like ADD child on my hands wow tough I mean it really is
tough but what does it say about parenting today if the guy what kind of a stooge is
that I don't know he's he's just one of those Wall Street tapes did you ever say to yourself
okay so now the the Third
the third category I don't know that I understand what was that again you you go to bars and make
trouble well it sounds like a biker um I was I was part of um I'm not a lesbian I
love lesbians though but I was part of you know I'm with you on that I'm not a lesbian
but I'm crazy about lesbians crazy about him yeah uh but I was part of a lesbian performance
art group and we would go make trouble um at fancy bars so that the the people would feel
like they're having a real downtown experience right now now when you say when you say trouble
what does it mean exactly like starting fights with patrons and getting rowdy and
maybe getting thrown out but accidentally on purpose but I was too self-conscious
to get drunk and really do it so I would just like kind of feel ah this is our 20s now I've
never heard of anything quite like this as a career or even as a job no but uh so you would
go into like a bar yeah with the bar know you're coming in yeah yeah we'd get people away and and
you'd start trouble and then and the patrons would oh god look out here come the lesbians
watch it hey you better watch it the lesbians are here yeah they would be
like bring me another bottle of Stoli and what a crazy night are we having yeah I
think and uh famous people involved uh yeah there were a couple of famous people involved
um one time I I one of my lesbian performance art Partners started a fight with Lawrence Fishburne
um yes which I was I thought we were going to lose I was sure of it so I pulled certain a
fight I wish would you throw a punch at the guy or no she like she like drank straight from his
bottle and his table and kind of blustered in his general direction sort of taunting him here
